Question Official Choice products - your opinon

I'm on Official Choice's email list and received an email that they are selling beltless referee pants at 19.95 (reg. 49.95). If you have bought a pair in the past, what do you think about them?

Although I have not purchased any pants from them, I have purchased their shirts. I think that their shirts are of excellent quality. I would think the same to be true of their pants.

I've heard on here before that the pants don't fit quite like the other brands and the material is thin. I like their basketball shirts but their baseball shirts have been documented on the baseball forum as being pretty cheap and there are also design flaws.

Spend the money and get Sansabelts. They'll last longer and fit better.

I have always liked the shirts. The pants on the other hand...google 'pantaloons' & you'll get the idea. I have purchased both belted & beltless. See 'pantaloons' above.

OC was the first to sell the long sleeve powder blue umpire's shirts, and I bought two, and they are of very good quality.

Mesh shirts are nice, but OC pants suck. IMO the best pants are Sansabelts with cliff Keen a solid second. Honigs fade but fit and hold up well.
